Abhishek Sharma was dismissed for a third consecutive duck in T20 cricket during today's India vs Netherlands T20 World Cup 2026 Group A match. This extends his poor run, following ducks against USA and Pakistan earlier in the tournament. While no player has infamously recorded three straight ducks today specifically, Abhishek's streak marks a rare slump for the Indian opener amid his four ducks in the last six T20I innings.
Recent Innings
Abhishek's last six T20I scores show extreme inconsistency: 0, 68*(20), 0, 30(16), 0, and now today's duck—four zeros in total. Three of these were golden ducks (1-ball dismissals), highlighting pressure in the powerplay.
Other 3-Duck Streaks

Pakistan's Saim Ayub matched Mohammad Hafeez with three consecutive T20I ducks in Asia Cup 2025.

Sanju Samson had back-to-back ducks (not three) in 2024 T20Is vs South Africa.
Abhishek joins an unwanted list but isn't the first; such streaks are rare for top-order players.
